  2. 2. The Robe

    A proud Roman tribune who presided over an execution acquires a simple garment from the condemned man and finds himself plunged into a spiritual crisis that undermines his loyalties and ambitions. Investigating the life and followers of the man he helped execute, he encounters a compassionate early Christian community whose faith and sacrifices force him to confront doubt, guilt, and the meaning of honor. The narrative follows his gradual transformation from cynicism to conviction, and the painful choices about love, duty, and integrity that true faith ultimately demands.
